Easy Ride: I was a part of an intelligent sensor development that could detect and pinpoint acoustic events inside a passenger compartment. The system is composed of a circular geometry Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) microphone array connected to a Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ platform that performs the audio event localization and identification algorithms in hardware using Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology.
